Trouble Sleeping

Does anyone else have this problem? I lie awake at night tossing and turning until I get so frustrated i have to get out of bed and try something else to make myself fall asleep. No matter how tired I am at night, I have the same problem every night. Last night I didn't even sleep at all. I don't want to take sleeping pills because I know you can become reliant on them. I don't like taking pills for anything because I have seen first hand what they can do to you. I have already spoken to my doctor and he says I need a vacation....any opinions???

I don't stay at home, I go to school full time, plus I take care of a two year old, I have a home to care for and I try to get to the gym every other day or so...Plus studying almost everynight, that should be enough to knock anyone out. Plus I don't drink caffeine.

A vacation? Does he think you'll sleep better in a different timezone? I go through this every damn night. I have tried everything over the counter including melatonin. I'm calling my doc and getting sleeping pills. I'm tired of being awake all night and tired during the day. Good luck to you.

A hot bath and a good book always puts me at ease and helps me fall asleep. I am a night owl by nature but if there is something going on I can forget about sleep. The I rome the house. So when I feel myself tensing up that is what I do. I also go for a nice long walk if the weather permits if it doesn't then I will go for a drive in the country with the music blaring. You just have to find out what works for you what do you enjoy to relax do it and you will probably get some sleep. I don't do the pills either. To scared I wouldn't hear the kids.
